We are happy to announce the release of a game we worked on with Mind Orchard for LEGO Spiderman, which is now released! GrindheadGames worked on the development of this title, which features Spiderman facing his mightiest foe, the Green Goblin. Players can use either their Desktop or tablet device to play against pragmatically generated levels, while saving lives in the process.

LEGO Ranch is a new HTML5 casual game for desktop and tablet. It was created to promote a Ranch toy in the LEGO Friends product line. We worked with Mind Orchard to create the game, who supplied some really great assets to work with. The game was built using ImpactJS, and LEGO: Friends runs really well on iPad’s and Android tablets, running at 60FPS across devices.

Within the game, users are presented with requests from the 4 animals on the Ranch: a Bunny, Pony, Lamb and Chicken. To complete the tasks, the player must drag the item from a characters basket onto the correct animal. The game features an achievement system with 12 achievements to progress through.

We also want to say a special thank you to Luke Wilde for his assistance on the project.

We recently worked on a project to produce a game for a Bud Light Super Bowl promotion. The game involves an endurance race where the user is required to complete a race which takes a minimum of 24 hours to finish. By avoiding obstacles including the legendary Kraken and Whirlpool’s of doom, the user can progress through the race and reach the end. Power Ups also are spawned throughout the level to help the player. There are 3 types of power ups available to the player, Speed Boost, Auto Pilot, and Invincibility. Each power up lasts a different amount of time, and provides a different perk to aid the completion of the journey. By collecting as many power ups as possible, and avoiding the obstacles, the player can record a record time and win a great prize from the folks over at Bud Light!

We are proud to support the Little Fishes Indiegogo, a indie film from Sunderland. Here is a break down from the guys and girls themselves:

Little Fishes is a story about Ben and Rosie, a brother and sister who leave home to search for adventure. They meet a mysterious fisherman named John, who takes them under his wing and teaches them how to survive on the open ocean. As Ben recognises a father figure in John, Rosie notices something otherworldly about the man. And she soon realises she’ll have to face her fears to save her brother.

Little Fishes was developed from an original story called Enigma by Aaron O’Sullivan. Over the past few months, along with the director of the project Garry Frost, the screenplay has been honed and perfected through workshops, writing seminars and advice from industry professionals.

Little Fishes is a University project, but even so we intend to ignore the learning curve and go straight for professional industry standard!
